I didn't miss it.  However grammar is a construct which survives 
popular opinion as it is on a slower evolutionary path that political 
or social ideas.  A 19th century man might not recognize the physical 
world of today, but he could be understood and understand by the use of 
a common grammar and syntax.
And English is not the only language.  The estimate on the number of 
world languages is in between 3000 and 8000 and each one has a 
different evolutionary path than any other language, but they all 
depend on consistency and internally conservative mechanisms to 
survive.

Interesting.  Aircraft speak English (or you think they do?).  How

English is still English when written, no matter what part of the world 
you come from, and we are dealing here with written language.  As a 
medium, any written language is much more uniform throughout the areas 
that speak it (take for an extreme example, Chinese), devoid as it is 
of accents and emphasis.  Yes, you can add colloquialisms and trendy 
expressions, but they have little flavour unless you seek to 
phoneticize them, and that was not the case here.

Yes, but to go back to what prompted this spate of contrarian debate, I 
maintain that what I said (using "they" when referring to a generic or 
asexual singular) was not "subjective" nor colloquial, but rather a 
well-established and documented use according to the rules of grammar 
and syntax.  
Your claim of subjectivity is therefore specious in light of the fact 
that what it would do is suggest that "they" had migrated either to or 
from another meaning, whereas the examples provided demonstrate that 
this useage is well established AND over 500 years old.

People use grammar one way at work, another at home, another at a bar, 
another in a sporting arena, another online, another in a court of law,

And yes of course, for many people how they use it is not mutually exclusive

You may well have, but that was hchambers@example.com.  The contention by 
another poster was that the use of "they" was wrong, and I demonstrated 
that it was not.  Your argument that grammar is subjective is both 
wrong and not germane to the original discussion.
As to whether or not grammar is truly sujective, I would say not, as it 
constiututes one of the fundamental lynchpins of any language so as to 
make it comprehensible.  The use one makes of it may vary. For example, 
the use of the verb going in various languages to indicate a future 
action: I am going to eat this, me voy a comer eso, je vais manger 
ceci.  However, the actual grammar has not changed for all that and the 
future tense is still in existence in the same three languages of my 
examples.
My annoyance is with your use of the word subjective (or 
subjectiveness).  Language cannot be subjective as it would then change 
with every individual and one of the characteristics of language is 
that it is intelligible to all who speak it.  If only one person speaks 
it and understands it, it isn't language.
